I've already explained what this is about. Do yourself a favor and read through the posts. 

This is not about fear lol

1. I read what you have to say, but explain someone using a cell phone and someone else using a smart tv and someone else using a laptop (in a Starbucks). There's no way Netflix can tell these people are not part of the same household.

2. may not be fear (sounds like it), but all your responses seems to indicate an irrational expectation of Netflix somehow knowing these things all belong (or don't belong) to one household either through IP addresses or whatever, when the mobile space basically makes this impossible for them to tell. Extreme cases are easier, sure. And even then if I go to Europe, which I will be this may, and use a new phone, does that mean I shouldn't be able to connect to my own service Netflix is gouging me for since they raise the price every other year? And then that service is shut off for a potential housemate back home? This is why so many people share accounts. It's pretty damn hard for Netflix to tell.

3. it's the high moral ground of violating a contract, I don't feel sorry for a corporate entity that makes millions upon millions of dollars in profit, doesn't pay taxes on it, and still manages to raise the price because according to them content is getting so expensive. Okay, if it is, then why are they making more PROFIT (not just money, but money after operating costs) then ever? Corporate greed and pleasing stock holders by maximizing profits in spite of consumer satisfaction.

Gimme a break.

1. I've already adressed this. Check your activity logs and tell me how Netflix knows the used device. They also collect hardware imformation for fraud purposes. Not difficult to log your account activity further. From the article from january this year it's not about if Netflix will or won't do something about account sharing, it's about when and how. 

 

2. Part of answer is on number 1 and this is also about excessive usage.

 

3. That's the part where I say, that's entirely up to you. Netflix is owned by share holders, and it's all about money. If there is a chance of getting more money, they will go for it.
